ABSTRACT:
An interface apparatus of the present invention includes an external state machine for controlling transmission of data and a control code from an own device to a counterpart device in accordance with an inputted control code, and an internal state machine for judging whether the own device is in a data transmission preparatory state or in a data transmission state, and notifies a result of the judgement to the external state machine. The external state machine invalidates the inputted control code during a period in which the internal state machine notifies that the own device is in the data transmission preparatory state.
